sᴇʟᴄᴏᴜᴛʜ (ᴛsᴜ'ᴛᴇʏ x ʀᴇᴀᴅᴇʀ)

chapter fifteen

Okay, its been brought to my attention that this chapter is kinda confusing, so I'm gonna explain rq. The stuff that bolded and in italics (like this) is Flashbacks, I couldn't make them italics bc lyrics are italics. The song is All of Me by John Legend btw. Anyway, after each lyric it's a different memory. And then the normal writing is in the present. I hope this helps explain it lmao.

A small smile came across my features as I heard the man in front of me softly humming as he sharpened a spear. I listened carefully and my head snapped, my smile dropping and eyes widening as I recognized the song.

What would I do without your smart mouth?

Drawing me in and you kicking me out

"Tsu'tey," His humming stopped and he looked up with question in his eyes. "Are you- are you humming a song from earth?"

Tsu'tey smiled.

You've got my head spinning, no kidding

I can't pin you down

"Yes. Jake has a thing that plays music from earth, and I liked this song." He explained, a sparkle in his eyes.

A wide smile spread across my face.

"Why this song?"

What's going on in that beautiful mind

I'm on your magical mystery ride

And I'm so dizzy, don't know what hit me

But I'll be alright

"It reminds me of you. Of us."

My head's under water

But I'm breathing fine

You're crazy and I'm out of my mind

I laughed. "Really?"

The sparkle shined as he nodded.

'Cause all of me

Loves all of you

"Think about it. It's almost perfect for us."

I thought about our memories together as the lyrics played in my mind.

Love your curves and all your edges

All your perfect imperfections

"See, this is perfect, and this is perfect, and this is perfect, and this is definitely perfect." He laughed as I gently placed my hand on his abdomen (abs, his abs) "And this, this is my favorite part." I said quietly as my hand rested on his cheeks.

He leaned down and gently placed his lips on mine.

"Thank you," He whispered once he pulled away, resting his forehead against mine. I closed my eyes with a smile.

Give your all to me

I'll give my all to you

You're my end and my beginning

Even when I lose I'm winning

I flinched as Tsu'teys father yelled loudly at him. The words stung, and they weren't even pointed towards me. I could only imagine what Tsu'tey was feeling.
